Passionate

This song is about the passion of life. What I find cool about this beat is the contrast between the dusty sample vibe (Alain Goraguer – La Planete Sauvage) combined with a modern futuristic sound with crazy synth sounds, modern mixing techniques and effects. This is not only reflected in the way the song has been arranged, but also in the various sound colors that have been applied. You will find both sampled drum breaks and modern programmed drums. The bass is partly sampled from the same “Ten Et Tiwa” sample and partly recorded by myself with a VST synth called ‘Massive’ by Native Instruments. Together with the space pads in the background, a synthesizer arp and some wahwah effects on the rhodes it has resulted in an unique sound.

At a certain moment I started to play with the sounds and effects. I assigned a number of tracks and effects to my Akai MPK 49 midi keyboard/controller and started turning the knobs live. This live performance gave me the outtro in a creative way. All in all, it has become a wonderful vintage Hip-Hop beat.
